Whale watching

We went whale watching in Tadoussac a few weeks ago and we saw lots of whales.  It was really fun.Justin was really excited to be on the boat.





A little dip in the pool afterwards at the hotel.

Nove Scotia

We all decide to go to Nove Scotia at the same time this year and Karine and I stayed at Sharon and Lester's cottage.  It was great to have our own place to come home to and we all had a great week filled with lots of fun.






We went o Lunenberg to visit the tall ships and the kids went on a little train.

The kids met their cousin Gabe and got along really well. 


We hosted a supper at the cottage (everyone gets a turn hosting), and the guys were having a very serious conversation.

We finally had good beach weather on our last day and spent the afternoon on the floating island.

Camping St. Henri de Taillon


It is a 2 km ride to the campsite. You have to lug your gear with a trailor.  With all of us, we had to do 4 runs.  The kids were much better than I thought for the 2 km ride on their bikes.

A few weeks ago, we all went camping for the weekend.  It was a really awesome weekend and the kids were absolutely great.  Here was our set-up right by the beach.

The cake that Yannick made.  Hours of work.


Nanna and Papou came a little early to celebrate Justin's b-day because they couldn't be here for the real thing.  They gave Justin a bathrobe and he loved it.

We had a John Deere themed party and I found these great decorations online.  Justin was ecstatic.
